Hi,Is anybody here, who can explain to me, how the track bodies from “Little Willie” are connected to the main body, and how it works? Is it possible, that the tank can be used without the tail wheel assembly? On some pics I saw, that the track bodies are fitted on one point in the middle of the main body,...
Here's some photos of my current project. The platework is temporarily held in place by self-tap roofing screws to check fit, once all the plates have been fitted it will be stripped, the frame and plates cleaned and etch primed before riveting. The frame is mostly 30x30x3 angle, the plates are mille...
Here's another of my projects still unfinished. I started this some years ago, without any references, and in my haste I made several mistakes in the assembly sequence. Later on, I tried to add some modifications as described in the Mark I article on Landships. The model was left for a period of time an...

Hi, I am looking for inspiration and some guidance. I have completed A17. OH I SAY !!! bar the weathering. The 'Male' tank has been finished in the more readily recognised Solomon pattern so I am wondering what 'Male' number/name might readily be found in proximity to A17. Not 'in action' but pre...
Have just received my tadpole this morning. have opened the box to see what exactly is available. Basically, it is the WHOLE of 5001 male MkIV with three extra sets of pieces plus double the track as shown above. Notice item 104 which will be of great use. Yes it still has the original problems but f...
Hello, Here is the first of two 1/72 GB Modeli Trattrice Pavesi tractors I am working on. This model is only 2.25 inches long. It is a very detailed kit marred only by air holes. Most of the construction time was spent filling in or repairing lost detail. The second kit is base painted and ready fo...
Hi all. I have a question, and I would love to be wrong with my worries. I had bought the Modelltrans 1/72 kit of the Romfell armored car, and - a couple of weeks ago - also their brand new kit of the Junovicz. I was extremely happy to see them in kit form! Now I had a doubt, and I looked in my references which wer...
I haven't seen this mentioned here and the search didn't find it either: Ace has announced the Modele 1917 to be released "soon". CAD drawings are available here.
I know this subject hs been covered briefly, but can anyone suggest websites that show the various unit/divisional markings applied to GS Wagons.......also I remember a website (not saved......stupid boy)...that showed the various markings for artillery supply, commisariat, etc etc......I...
Exactly what the title says really... Is there a 'masterwork' along the lines of 'The World at War', any one-offs worth buying on DVD..? I can search Amazon just as easily as the next man, but there is nothing like an informed recommendation, and Landships is about as informed as they come. Spotted tw...
Dr Banting, the Nobel prize-winning doctor who was the first to use insulin on humans, was a doctor in WW1 and helped out at the Battle of Cambrai (fought in 1918, according to Wikipedia), as well as many other occasions I'm sure, for which service he was decorated. He was from Alliston, Ontario. The...

GentlemenOk, again thank you for identifying the 14 inch rail gun; I have never seen those photo’s before, especially with the gun on its proving carriage. But I have another series of photos for you. They state that this gun was set up for the defense of Paris?? Any idea what this gun is???? Again I...
Where might the serial number be positioned on an MG08? I have seen them on top just in front of the trigger, and I have seen them on a little stand-off tag to the right hand side. I have just tracked down this MG08 in Alliston, Ontario, but I couldn't see any numbers on it. It should have the number 822 on it s...
In February, 2007 Valilka posted a few photos of the US Skeleton tank. He also stated something about the Skeleton tank having been used in Nicaragua in the 1920s as well as it having a turret from a Renault FT. The photos have since disappeared and there was never any followup to his questions about th...

Hello, Decided to stop work on my Mark V* and work on this 1/72nd kit from GB Modelli. This is the first WWI Italian model I have ever made. I have also assembled and based painted two of their Pavesi & Tolotti tractor kits. I want to weather and detail paint each one separately - so they will all ha...
